I don't seem to use this journal for much more than getting a hold of other people or complaining about viruses anymore, but a conversation got me thinking about what it means to be positive. I know, it's a trite subject, right? 'The power of positive thinking'. It makes me think of a self-help seminar... But to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'd ever accomplish anything if I wasn't sure I would accomplish it. I don't know how or why I developed that mindset or if it was even a conscious decision, but I'm grateful that I have. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd given up on certain goals...

Don't get me wrong. It's not always easy, and nobody can be positive all the time, but I think it beats the alternative in a lot of cases.

I guess this is why some people have me labeled as an optimist.

But I'm a positive goof.

Silly goof.

A silly goof with goals.

And poor floor plans.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with my floor plans!

Don't worry. I'll have Matthias help you.

Well, if it'll keep him from knocking my houses down...

Only to save you from your own shoddy construction.

I wonder if he'll turn out like Haruto.

My construction is perfectly sound, thank you. He just doesn't appreciate fine craftsmanship.

Haruto?

Of course, Phoenix. Your buildings are great. Maybe if I try to encourage him a bit...

Haruto. He's a little high school boy on here. He's so cute and innocent. I bet he rides his bike to school and has a little school club to go to and has little essays to write... The perfect life.

They're quaint.

Ah. I don't think I've met him before. Is he aspiring to build houses or something?

They're adorable. Like watching a child build a house.

No, I don't think so. He's just so sweet and innocent. I wonder if that's the type of life Matthias and Figaro will have. I hope so.

...I don't think I like this virus.

I hope so, too, Maraich. I'm sure you'll do everything you can to ensure they do.

This doesn't seem to be working quite right... I mean it's pretty cute!

I wonder what the schooling is like here.

Suuure.

In Archades, you mean? You could always ask Vayne, couldn't you?

It's not my fault it's fun watching you play with the baby. Like two peas in a pod...

I should. I wonder if we'll stay here that long.

...You're doing that on purpose, aren't you?

As long as you keep working there, I don't see why not...

Doing what? I didn't do anything.

It'll be a few years still before Matthias starts school.

Never mind...

So you don't think you'll be working there, then?

At the rate I've been moving around? I could be anywhere in a couple of years.

True. It'd still be nice to know what the school system is like, though. Maybe you won't want to be there.

It's possible. They have a completely different setup here. Mostly medieval-like.

Right, and that might conflict with the kind of education you'd like for him to have.

He's going to be a doctor! And a lawyer. And architect. But he won't really need any of those things since he'll rule the universe.

Do they have schools for that...?
